This also significantly brings world cultures closer together and helps everyone understand each other.
I do think there should be programs to support and encourage some of the trained immigrants to go back to their countries of origin. But not taking them in is a terrible idea.
Plus it's pretty unfeasible really. Like in many things, the best way to fight illegal X is to make legal X a possibility. If the West stopped taking immigrants we'd just see a huge raise in illegal immigration, which creates a lot more problems.
